Abstract
Introduction: Bioethics education for epidemiologists has a favorable impact on the health of communities, contributes to ethical decision making and helps promote equitable health outcomes for all populations. Objective: to identify the SR social representations of bioethics in students of the epidemiology specialization of a university in Pereira Risaralda, Colombia. Method: qualitative study from the theoretical approach of cognitive anthropology by means of processual, prototypical and structural analysis of Social Representations through associative techniques: free listing and peer comparison questionnaire to consolidate the content, organization and graphic representation of the SRs of 17 students of the specialization in epidemiology. Results: For the participants, SR on Bioethics revolves around ethics for life and respect for human rights in its central core; the aspects that establish the peripheral elements of the representation are constituted by principles, morals, equity, respect and norms. Conclusions: SR of bioethics in epidemiologists in training is broadly understood as a branch of ethics from a perspective of rights and respect for life.
